Pros:
Host is friendly and helpful.
Apartment was generally nice looking and clean on check-in.
Good sized refrigerator.
Clothes washer in suite with drying rack on balcony is convenient.
Water fill up in carpark.
Nice pool and friendly building staff/security.
Cons:
Bed is ROCK hard, even with 2 mattress pads. Extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. Also host has mattress in the plastic bag it came in which is very loud.
Couch is worn out with springs pushing through. Very uncomfortable.
Cockroaches appear regularly in bathroom. They come up through the drainage pipes which do not have adequate grating to block them.
As the drainage pipes are open, the smell of sewage also permeates the bathroom. If the door is left open and/or the fan is left off, this smell will seep through the rest of the apartment.
Apartment has NO sound insulation whatsoever. As it is near a main road, the sounds of motorbikes, vehicles honking, people shouting, dogs, etc is constantly all around you. In addition, there is no sound isolation between apartment units meaning you can hear everything from the neighbours on both sides. This and the hard bed make it very difficult to get any sort of restful sleep as the neighbours come and go at all hours.
Isolated. While the unit is within a 15 minute or so walk to the BTS station, it is not convenient at all for getting around. This means you must rely on motorbike taxis to get to and from the BTS. There are a couple of little restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk but nothing really great.
Overall, while the host was very communicative and willing to try to help, there are some serious issues with this Airbnb. Some of them could be fixed but the sound insulation is likely not one of them.
